"A joint approach by Newham Council and the police to target the use of CCTV footage has resulted in nearly triple the number of arrests in the last six months compared to the same period last year. The staggering increase shows that 159 arrests were made in Newham from April to September this year through CCTV referrals, in contrast to 54 made in the same half of 2005."
